Warwick’s Host Author Gabrielle Burton For Book Signing

On Thursday, March 11, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Avenue, will host award winning screenwriter and author Gabrielle Burton, who will discuss and sign Impatient with Desire.

In the spring of 1846, Tamsen Donner, her husband, George, their five daughters, and eighty other pioneers headed to California on the California-Oregon Trail in eager anticipation of new lives out West. Everything that could go wrong did, and an American legend was born:  The Donner Party.

We think we know their story, pioneers trapped in the mountains performing an unspeakable act to survive, but we know only that one harrowing part of it. Impatient with Desire brings us answers to the unanswerable question: What really happened in the four months the Donners were trapped in the mountains? And it brings to stunning life a woman and a love story behind the myth.

This event is free and open to the public, although in order to be signed, books must be purchased from Warwick’s.  For more information, please call Warwick’s at (858) 454-0347
